Some BK franchise owners are not happy about the new campaign and movement by the Burger King franchise to stay open late. Maybe you’ve seen the Puff Daddy (or whatever his name is now) commercials stating that BK is open late. This is great for the guys in suits at the corporate office that get to go home at a normal time, but for the franchise owners this is a major hassle.
As an owner of a restaurant business you expect to be home late, but if you don’t close until 2:00 that means you probably won’t get home before 3:30 or 4:00 A.M. making each day VERY long.
Before you buy a franchise, even a highly successful one like Burger King make sure to find out what hours are required and if don’t want to work past a certain time try to get that in your franchise agreement.

1Why would the owner be required to stay till close??? Most burger kings in my area are open 24 hours, do you think the franchise owner is there 24/7????

2Good catch Phill. The owners are not always there but there are other obstacles that are also urking the owners like having to keep a staff longer, dealing with crime, drunks at bar closings, and other hassels of late nights.
Some BKs are open 24 hours but that is probably their personal decision to do so. I think the biggest issue is that it’s being forced.
